After Nanzhi left the ward, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes, his eyes glistening with tears. He was unique; it turned out he still had a heart. The name 'Ayang' was so affectionate and heartwarming.
I really want to take this person home and hide them away, so I can hear 'A-Yang' every day.
But no, otherwise Namzhi wouldn't be happy.
"Ah, I should be thanking you." You gave me such a warm moment in my life.
Si Yang recalled his life from childhood to adulthood—cold, ruthless, and he had climbed to his current position by stepping on the blood of others. The sudden appearance of Nan Zhi brought him a different feeling—warm, comforting, and unforgettable.
But Nan Zhi is right, none of this belongs to him, it belongs to his younger brother Gu Ying.
If he hadn't protected Nanzhi back then, she probably wouldn't have even given him a glance. Thinking about it, Si Yang found it funny. He was usually cold and indifferent, but when the car was about to hit her, he subconsciously tried to protect Nanzhi. What was he thinking at that moment? It seemed like he wasn't thinking anything; it was just a reflexive action. In his mind, it seemed like he should do it.
Si Yang thought to himself, this is not the place he should be, so what is there to be so attached to?
In the afternoon, Gu Ying was led to the ward by Shen Xingmian. Nan Zhi sat on the bed and watched Shen Xingmian walk in with a cold expression. She then shouted at the door, "Why aren't you coming in yet? Do I have to go and invite you?"
Nan Zhi: "..." This scene seems familiar.
Gu Ying walked in slowly with her head down, showing none of the demeanor of the head of the Gu family.
Nanzhi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Both Shen Xingmian and Gu Ying looked somewhat strange.
Shen Xingmian walked over and sat down next to her, sighing, "I've brought the person to you."
Nan Zhi kept laughing, while Gu Ying stood blankly at the door, unsure whether to go in or back out.
He had a hint of annoyance on his face, his hands hanging at his sides, clutching his clothes.
This incident stemmed from his past relationship with Leng Qian, which led to him being controlled and Nan Zhi, who was pregnant, having to risk her life for him.
"Don't you guys find what just happened familiar?"
After laughing, Nanzhi clutched her stomach and looked at the two of them.
Shen Xingmian: "......."
Gu Ying: "......."
Neither of them spoke. Nanzhi smiled and asked, "Aying, do you still remember your dog-chewed bald head?"
Gu Ying then looked up at Nan Zhi, pursed her lips, and nodded. Shen Xingmian was slightly embarrassed, as she had been using Gu Ying as a test subject.
"That time you were embarrassed to see me because of your hairstyle, and Shen Xingmian forcibly dragged you to the hospital."
Nan Zhi felt a pang of emotion, her eyes filled with a smile as she looked at Gu Ying. "A Ying, we're family. This isn't your fault. Besides, we're both alright, aren't we?"
Gu Ying stood there, feeling somewhat relieved that they were indeed family. However, he was powerless to stop Xi Xi from jumping off the building that time, and he was still powerless to stop Si Yang from taking her away this time. He felt truly frustrated and distressed.
"But all of this started because of me."
Nan Zhi smiled helplessly, "Why are you so stubborn? Do you expect me to beg you?"
As she spoke, Nan Zhi put on a stern face and pretended to be angry, saying, "If you're still going to be stubborn, you might as well cut ties with us from now on, so we don't get dragged into this again next time."
Gu Ying immediately looked at her anxiously, "Xi Xi, I... I don't dwell on things, don't say that."
"In my opinion, the happiest thing in the world is that your family and friends are safe and healthy. If you have to dwell on everything, how tiring would it be to live? People should learn to enjoy life while they can."
Nan Zhi smiled and shared her thoughts, while Gu Ying lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, it won't happen again."
Yes, what could be more precious than Xixi being safe and sound? This incident only shows that I am not good enough to protect Nanzhi. Since I am not good enough, I will continue to work hard to become stronger.
Nan Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief after persuading Gu Ying. "Si Yang is next door, you..."
No, I don't want to see him.
Before Nan Zhi could finish speaking, Gu Ying refused. What kind of brother was this? Giving him such a profound lesson on their very first meeting was truly disheartening.
Nan Zhi pursed her lips, and after a long while, she said, "Just follow your heart. I'm not forcing you to do anything."
Because she understood that Si Yang still had a conscience deep in his heart, but he had ignored it and buried it deep in his heart since childhood, never showing it.
Nan Zhi herself was not injured; she stayed in the hospital until the next day at Shen Xingmian's insistence.
Gu Ying also came to pick up Nan Zhi from the hospital today. In order not to worry her family, no one except Shen Xingmian and Gu Ying knew about Nan Zhi's situation in the hospital.
"Ah Ying? Didn't I say you didn't need to come?"
Gu Ying smiled and said, "It didn't take much time to come here, let's go."
Shen Xingmian glanced at him indifferently, her eyes unreadable.
Nan Zhi remained silent, but Gu Ying couldn't help but glance at her a few more times as she passed the next ward.
After leaving the hospital and getting into the car to leave, Nan Zhi exclaimed "Oh dear!" and then called: "Shen Xingmian, I think I left the necklace you gave me in the ward."
Just as Shen Xingmian was about to turn back to look for her, Nan Zhi stopped him and smiled at Gu Ying, saying:
"Ah Ying, can you help me look for it? It should be on the bed."
Gu Ying seemed a little absent-minded. Upon hearing this, she nodded and turned to leave.
